FERC's Glick believes in the Biden climate agenda. That makes him a Senate target.

Episode Summary

Glick, who was appointed to FERC in 2017 to fill the Democratic opening and elevated to the chairmanship last year by Biden, has pushed policies that angered prominent lawmakers, including many Republicans — and, most crucially, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chair Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who as the upper chamber's swing vote has weakened much of Biden's climate agenda. That's put Glick's future at risk after his current term on the commission ends in June.
